really? I've never raced an r6 but I'd like to see how my car could do against one...
I'm guessing I make around 500 rwhp.

has this car been to the track yet? The video didn't look all that impressive for the power. When I looked at the speedo, it was climbing pretty nicely, but I would have thought a lot more out of that much power. Not slamming at all, but i would be interested in seeing what that car car do at the track. I think the bike will take you pretty easy up to 80-90, once your hooked, I bet it feels nasty! You had to shift so damn soon from the wheelspin in the video, it just seemed like a shame. Get some nasty tires and see what it will do. A turbo vette that was done locally ran something like low 11's at 145+ mph. It was a stick car with insane power like this F-body's. a TH400 would be awfully nice in this 408 turbo!!! Let us know how the bike race goes...

those rear mount turbo's seem to be doing pretty nicely

well, we got some video footage last night.

Some bad *** races to say the least.

We had 2 g5x3 cammed ls1's with headers and true duals, the 04 R6, and a cammed lt1.

Video should be up hopefully by saturday, so keep an eye out for a new thread

Actually, the GTO runs 12.1 at 118 mph

My Camaro runs 10's on motor (full weight, pump gas, radials all around, auto, 3.42 gear, etc), haven't tried it with the 200 shot yet....did any of you want to race me for some cash??? Of course, I don't go from 80 kicks....just dead stops. Let me know, I am in NE Indiana.

I didn't mean to sound like i was bashing the 408 turbo...just saying the speedo wasn't traveling all that fast. I would be interested to see if that 408 turbo could run in the 10's the way it is...just curious. I may be doing a turbo in the future, but other than rwhp bragging rights, I haven't seen too many that will outgun a stroker on nitrous on the street. Time will tell. To be able to pull on a NEW R6 s impressive though, those bikes are very fast up to 150 mph.

I don't think in the vid he had his foot deep into it. Otherwise as he stated earlier in this thread the car would be all over the road with concrete wall on either side. Plus its a high dollar toy I would be easy on it too.

sdb i hope you have a good flame suit on, lol.

thought you had to spray your way into the 10's cause the car is such a pig.

i'm sure somebody from the midwest will step up to your challenge.

It was a pig and still is, the driver weighs a whole lot less now...and I have changed basically everything but the shortblock...it runs as hard on motor now as it did on nitrous (with a bad converter) last year. I hope someone from the midwest comes on over with some cash...I really do. Again I am not bashing the 408,just stating that it didnt seem to be going very fast in the video.

You could bring your low 11 second car over if you wish...I would run you without juice for some cash or fun, whatever you like.
